Opened in 1952, OR Tambo International Airport (FAOR) is the largest airport in South Africa, and the busiest. It is also a major gateway for tourist traffic and located approximately 24 kilometers (15 mi) from the Johannesburg city center.
OR Tambo International Airport is bordered by the suburbs of Alberton, Brakpan, Germiston and Kempton Park. It was established in 1952 as the Jan Smuts International Airport, named after Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts, who was the Prime Minister of the Union of South Africa from 1919 to 1924 and also from 1939 to 1948 as well as a staunch opposer of “Apartheid”.
In 2006 the airport was renamed to OR (Oliver Reginald) Tambo International Airport, after the former president of the African National Congress (ANC), hence the change in the Airport ID from FAJS to FAOR.

Requirements
Lockheed Martin Prepar3D (V5.x) • Microsoft Windows 10 (1809) or better • Quad Core 3.0 GHz Processor or better • 4 GB System RAM • 4 Gb VRAM Graphics card with full DirectX 12 of better support .
OK scenery, with custom buildings, textures and a photoreal background (as per screenshots provided). There are also some default buildings and objects included, which is a bit poor to be honest for a payware scenery. The photoreal background does not blend very well with the surrounding ORBX landclass textures.
Ground layout/georeferencing for runway, taxiways, gates, etc... is not always very accurate, which is annoying.
The developer is friendly and willing to help.
Overall, this is an improvement on the default scenery, but there is nothing exciting. I did not have high expectations, but I am a bit disappointed overall. Not worth paying the full price of 14 EUR here on Simmarket.
